Tennis

These people were all tennis experts. Rock understood he was not qualified to challenge their expertise, but he did anyway.
They sat around a card table in a dimly-lighted, paneled den and complained about how much tennis had changed. "It involves nothing but power now," one of the said. "The wonderful subtleties of finesse are gone."
"I hate to say it, but I haven't noticed," Rock said. "On the other hand, you have to bear in mind that I have never watched much more than the Sunday morning mens finals of Wimbledon."
"There's no way you could truly understand it then," another said.
"How about if they went back to wooden rackets?"
"That would do it, but there's no way that will ever happen. There's not a chance."
